Tolerance

Definition:Putting up with whose opinions or ways differ from ones own.(page 1155. Scott Forseman Advanced Dictionary)

Explanation: Tolerance can relate to Thomas Jefferson and his Americans because Jefferson has always put up with the British always putting them own, killing his people, taxes them for multiple reasons and in chapter 9 the Barbary Pirates would come onto their ships killing sailors and taking money and property. They had to take a stand and show those pirates that, that will not be tolerated. Life for Jefferson and the Americans were like middle school all over again. European countries are the bullies and the Americans are the victims. They couldn't stand up for themselves only because the British army to far to strong. When Jefferson wants to speak out, he gets pushed up against a locker. They were never strong enough to throw a punch, and get their lunch money back. They couldn't fight back and say enough is enough because Britain wouldn't here them. But after the war 1812 they have a new level of confidence and new people who respect the Americans and know not to mess with them anymore. They went from nerd to quarter back but they will never be as tough.
